I bought a sample of this for my mother a few years back, simply astounding! The leather wasn't even evident, like in Knize Ten, but subliminal and superb. A true great.
+Kevin Mccoy Yes exactly! Not biting like Knize Ten (though I do love that too!) but rather a polished sophisticated leather. Like smelling the inside of a well worn and well loved Louis Vuitton suitcase from the 1950's.
I am not familiar with this fragrance, but I recently took deliver of Dior Cuir Cannage (love it!) and image these two would be similar based on the listed notes. Is it worth looking into this fragrance since I already have CC? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
+Fragrance with Steve It is my favorite of all my leather perfumes. Thank you so much Steve for taking the time to comment on this and my other videos. You made my day!
Lanier, again, excellent review, 5 Stars...love to watch your reviews....just super classic. I decided to go ahead and purchase this "Exclusif" based on your review. Thanks !
Albert Romero Thanks so much Albert! I truly hope you like it. In future you should try to get samples first. Not everyone is going to like what I like so I hope this one is a success for you. Cheers.
Lanier Smith I purchased this via Chanel.com....amazing. get compliments all the time. I've noticed these Exclusifs line...are very high quality ingredients.......nothing comes close it seems......just incredible, thank you for the review !
Hey Lanier! Just wondering if this is anything close to Habit Rouge, if you prefer one to the other & which one's better badboy scent!? haha. Thanks ;)
+Ritch Flynn Hi Ritch, no where near it, not even in the same county so to speak. But that is simply my opinion. Others might disagree but I would find that very surprising.
So many interesting leathers… CH Men Prive & Pure Leather seem more on the sweet side. Knize 10, Peau Despagne & Tuscan Leather apparently a be tougher. And Cuir de Russie & Midnight in Paris a bit softer, powdery & perhaps unisex. Only got my nose on 3 of those so far.. (Pure Leather, Midnight in Paris & Tuscan Leather)… And Habit Rouge of course! But hey… high hopes for Knize 10 after hearing James Dean was a fan!
Ritch Flynn I love leather fragrances especially in the fall when the first chill is in the air. Knize 10 is a favorite of mine A very bold almost rude leather. Not only James Dean but the sometimes androgynous Marlene Dietrich wore it too.
Faddy Shammas - How is projection on the pure parfum? I was deciding between this and the eau de parfum, and decided on the pure parfum. I'm waiting for delivery now.
Marci Konopa do you like it ;; its very close to the skin , also nice with the edt to spray over your arms / clothes together with the parfum at your wrists 👌😘
pascalle douven It's beautiful, complex, and sexy. I'm trying to wait for a special occasion to wear it, or at least cooler weather. But I think I might just have to wear it for myself.
It is sublime, much more intense in it's concentration therefore that little .5 ounce bottle will last a very long time. Cheer Fritz (revision... I was thinking of the pure parfum. Not the EdP. Hummm. it has been some time since I smelled it. But as I recall it seemed just about the same to me as the EDT which as you know they no longer make. Now I will have to go into town and try it out to make sure.)
yes i do love it-- Just came cross your channel today. Very well done review. Has a real classy presentation to it, and you seem like you realy know your stuff-- will definatly be subscribing. Iam a avid perfume collector, with at least 150 bottles in my collection, maybe even more. So your channel is right up my alley--lol
Exciting review. Another beautiful Chanel that I had to add to my collection. Russian Leather is the perfect name. The leather dominates but it is soft yet spicy. The beauty is unbearable. The incense note is so subtle and beautiful too. I just can't say enough about this fragrance.
Have you tried Surrender To Chance. You can get a decant there at a very reasonable price. Thank you Thunderstorm70, I try to look debonair when ever possible. By the looks of things in the morning I don't think I manage very well when I am sleeping.
Man I really don’t get any leather when I smell this fragrance. I received a sample, and though I was very excited to find a strong, leathery scent, this is not the case. All I can smell is a very feminine, expensive fragrance. It is beautiful, classic, slightly powdery, but this is not by any stretch a unisex scent.
Your writing really sucks me in! I do recall liking this one, I really need to get back to the counter and refresh my scents-memory! Wonderful review- go the bow tie!
Natelee thank you so much! Yes when fall comes to you would be a great time to get back to the counter and smell this one. Oh...my bow tie? Thank you..it is brand new!
Well Double 0 Trouble one might suggest a trip to Harrods, or pardon the pun, New Bond Street for some ideas. Might I suggest ...Chanel" They have a lovely Russian Leather there that I have been spying on of late.
hello to you....i got carried away ...you are a wondeful storyteller .... but it's not "cuir de RussE "( un russe: is a russian person) ...but "cuir de Russ" i" e "( meaning : leather from Russia, so the name of the scent) ...in other word, it prononces "Russy" ....

@@laniersmith1798am I the only one that thinks Paloma Picasso parfum is very similar to this?

also top !!
Must get my nose on this it sounds like something I'd love. Great story behind it as well. Thank you 👌😊
+Fragrance with Steve It is my favorite of all my leather perfumes. Thank you so much Steve for taking the time to comment on this and my other videos. You made my day!
A great review, do you prefer the EDT or the extrait?
I have the EDT... But I have smelled the extrait at the Chanel Boutique... oh boy is it wonderful! Thanks for stopping by James.
Wonderful review as ever. Loved the closing lines. "Wear what you love..." 👌🏻
Should i buy cuir de russie or le lion? One is classy but weak another wambamb but strong

Lanier Smith Sycamore is incredible as well. Just amazing and refreshing. Lots of compliments as well.
Albert Romero edt ?
Love your storytelling, and the history behind this fragrance
+Diamond Diva Princess Welllll, it is my interpretation of the creation. Fantasy meets a touch of fact... a very small touch.
Good story and review, Lanier. I subscribed. This sounds like a sexy and intriguing perfume. It's been on my must-smell list for a while.
Ciao Cleo! Thanks so much ...so lovely to have you as a subscriber.

Very informative review! Cuir de Russie is my favourite but also I have Bois Des Iles as well. It is also very nice!
Oh yea I love Bois des Illes too! It is on my must buy list. Thanks Oguz Baykal for your very kind words.
Great review Lanier.
Thanks to you, I bought my boyfriend the 15ml pure perfume version for Valentine's Day. Boy was he impressed ;)))
Faddy that is so absolutely Wonderful!!

I wonder Lanier, what your thoughts are on the EdP version of Cuir de Russie?
It is sublime, much more intense in it's concentration therefore that little .5 ounce bottle will last a very long time. Cheer Fritz (revision... I was thinking of the pure parfum. Not the EdP.

I know exactly how your feel Scentapede! This is one of my go to perfumes for an elegant edge to a dull day.
I just purchased it today
Excellent review. I've been wanting to try this one but can't find it anywhere. I may have to get a decant. You look very debonair with your bow tie.
Have you tried Surrender To Chance. You can get a decant there at a very reasonable price. Thank you Thunderstorm70, I try to look debonair when ever possible. By the looks of things in the morning I don't think I manage very well when I am sleeping.
Love the review Laniar. I love this scent. :)
Isn't it a great one! I could live in it all day. Thanks for stopping by and your support. I am very flattered.
Beautiful narration, thank you!
hello sir'' can u plz recommend leather perfume but I want more soft and powdery ,feminine plz
Very classy and unique interview.
Thank you Chad you are always so kind and thoughtful. I appreciate that you always take the time to stop by and watch my efforts. Be well.

Please could you review Cuir de Lancome sometime?
Yes JmeJB3 I certainly can and will. Cheers.
Thanks 😃
My apologies for the grammatical errors...
Good evening "M" it's moneypennys birthday later this month. I must visit "Q" branch to get some ideas!
Well Double 0 Trouble one might suggest a trip to Harrods, or pardon the pun, New Bond Street for some ideas. Might I suggest ...Chanel" They have a lovely Russian Leather there that I have been spying on of late.
Excellent advice "M" good job
hello to you....i got carried away ...you are a wondeful storyteller .... but it's not "cuir de RussE "( un russe: is a russian person) ...but "cuir de Russ" i" e "( meaning : leather from Russia, so the name of the scent) ...in other word, it prononces "Russy" ....
thank you Christopher I am so happy you enjoyed the story. I have since learned how to pronounce Cuir de Russie... LOL. Cheers my friend.
Lanier sry
Wow that pisses me off this was inspired by one of the murderers of Rasputin, Chanel was really a disgusting person
